I had fat injection in my lips 2 days ago and I would like to know how to reduce swelling. My lips look really big, much bigger than I asked, and unnatural. My doctor said that the major swelling should disappear after 1-2 days. However, I didn't notice any improvement yet. Do you know how I can reduce swelling? Should I try ice? I read on this forum that it might take weeks for swelling to disappear. Please help, I am desperate.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Are you doing any better today?

According to the replies to a similar question in our Doctor Q&A forum, fat transfer swelling can last for weeks, not days. :-/ Here's the link: How long does it take after fat transfer for lips to feel and look normal?

Hope that helps and please keep us updated!

Thank you Sharon for your reply and for the link. I am doing slightly better but still my upper lip is huge. I am trying not to move my mouth (little talking and eating) and I hope that it helps.
